[Study Group] Bayesian Statistics with the Rethinking Material 4
The Good:
- Reveal spurious correlations
- Uncover masked associations
The Bad:
- Can cause spurious correlations
- Can hide real associations
Always be mindful of the
variables you use!
The Aim:
In a model with two predictors: “What is the value of one
predictor once we know the value of the other predictor”
Modelling Language:
“How is each predictor related to the response
once we know all other predictors?”
